How about this: make a bloody separate safe space for kids. This should go for AI, this should go for web search (maybe), this should go for YouTube, etc. Don't force adults to the lowest common denominator of safe contents, don't make it likely that children will see something they should not.

How has that worked out with porn?

I assume you are referring to kids bypassing censorship - short of surveillance, this will be impossible. If the child chooses to access this content, that's not really stoppable. But we can prevent kids from being exposed to unsafe content accidentally by curating content available to them.

The problem is, platfrom rules prevent unsafe content from being posted and watched by anyone, not just children. And that's concerning, because YouTube is the defacto public utility for video hosting in all but semantics, just like Twitter and Facebook are the defacto "digital town square" type services.

It is concerning, I get it. I mean I loved jailbreaking ChatGPT for a while there. However, this is one those very common and very real lesser of two evils situations.

I am not excusing any behavior by anyone here. At the same time, I am glad that I’m not in a position to have to make this type of decision.
